Will the 4.7" iPhone do stage light?

As the title says will the smaller 4.7" 8 allow these effects too?

Nope, only the Plus model and the X. It requires Portrait mode

Which is a bummer. I guess I'll wait next year for the X form factor (with its dual camera) to be mainstreamed into the regular non-plus iPhone

It requires depth sensing, and AFAIK only X has that.

Yes, least the 8+ gets it... what’s annoying is this is clearly a software change because tbh what is there Hardware wise stopping this on the 7+?

You’re correct for portrait selfies... but the plus models of the 7 and 8 can do portrait rear camera

But 8+ have OIS for both back cameras.

No, only iPhone X has OIS on both rear cameras. iPhone 8 Plus has it only on the wide angle lens.

But why does the front camera support Portrait if it is one camera? We all know this gimmick is done with software and the telephoto camera was just the excuse too make it exclusive to the more expensive models.

It's 3 cameras ... the normal one, the IR one and the DOT one. I guess between them they work it out.
